Here you'll find info about artists, rumors, camping tips, and the infamous Roo Clues. Have a look around then create an account and join in the fun. See you at Bonnaroo!!
Mermaid Stage FKA SlutLife is a very under rated commodity of the fest. Full service restaurant with view of an intimate stage is rather awesome. The food and prices aren't paticularly awful either. Just what you need.
Seems like there will be a lot to do if there is a gap between artists. Those Malibu mudslide things were badass. I was feeling pretty run down Saturday and after one of those I woke up.

From one lady to another if you put one of those little kleenex packages and/or tavel size wet wipes in your bag you will be very happy come the evenings when all the TP in the portos seems to dissappear. The wet wipes can also double for hand washing which is hard to come by.
I second the carbiner and shoes that you can easily take on and off. This isn't coachella. those knee high gladiator sandles are a bad idea. Sunscreen, hat, sunglasses, flip flops, bathing suit and a cover up for later is all you need.

For what to wear/bring as a lady in VIP: - Sundress on Thursday (no pool or beach access that night), swimsuits and coverups the rest of the time... shades, hat, and flip flops. I am usually soaked by 4:00, so I run to the condo and change into dry clothes (sundress) before the sun goes down. - The clippy thingy I can never spell to clip your flip flops to you backpack/kavu. - Sunscreen - Beach towels for the pool - Dollars for tips - Cell phone charger for the charging station.
THANK YOU! Those are some things I hadn't thought of. Wet wipes are a great idea, and a carabiner to clip my shoes to our backpack is a great idea. I'm definitely going to make sure I drink plenty of water and I bought some 50 spf sunscreen so hopefully no burning. And I know exactly what you mean about the gladiator sandals at Coachella - You bet we will see plenty of those even though they make no sense on the beach.
I'm thinking of a drinking game for every girl in a flower crown/tutu/Indian headpiece/ I see.
I took some mirror pics of myself in my swimsuits...everything in the front is great...but...from the back. OMG. I guess it's time to face the fact that I'm almost 40 and need a tankini. NOT looking forward to comparing myself to the 20 year old hotties. I will just drink enough so that I don't care.

Came across this weekend after party being held in gulf shores this year. Doesn't look to be affiliated with the hangout but still it's somthing to do after 11. Pretty happy about this even if I don't know many of those names lol. Not sure why someone with money hasn't come out there years ago to open a music venue for late shows after hangout similar to ACL or lolla.

Weeeeeeeelp I will now waste the rest of my Friday afternoon at work looking up these names. #partyslut
(as a kid vacationing every summer in Gulf Shores, Live Bait looked like the coolest place that grownups got to go to. I remember being like 14 and thinking I can't wait to be old enough to go there. Ha!)
Best to sample a bushwhacker. They are awesome! Unless you have diabetes. & as for tans I will remind you that I'm Canadian. So when you see that blinding whiteness...no you aren't dying that will just be me lying on the beach.

I'm 37, I don't have my 20 year old body (or brain, thank God!) anymore, and I do not give a fuck about those children on the beach! You shouldn't either! Wear your bikini! Show them how women our age party! Because I guarantee the vast majority of them won't be partying like us at our age!
Oh, and the flower crowns/tutus/Indian headdresses make me want to throw up in my mouth. Even 20 year old me wasn't dumb enough to wear that crap.
I would love it for you veterans to give me some tips - what to do, what not to do, what to wear, what to bring etc...Maybe some things you leaned the hard way?
I've been every year, and last year was the first year I rented a locker. I can put sunscreen on when I leave the condo and reapply later when I need it without having to carry that around. I usually put my sunglasses in there at night so I don't lose them and have some sleeves for the walk back on the beach. It basically becomes the place where I put shit that I may need but don't use all the time. If you're going VIP, bring an empty nalgene bottle and have them make your drink in it. I just tip well, but you've got other assets. In 6 years they've never gave me much flack about making me a to go drink and if they do just get a couple in their plastic cups and pour them in. Save you calves and toes/feet if you aren't accustomed to walking in the sand and walk on the boardwalk between shows (sand is gonna stretch out your feet/toes). Don't bring flip flops that you love, just something that's comfortable. You'll have too much fun, take them off, and then you lost some shoes you like. When you're not drinking booze make sure you're drinking water cause Saturday/Sunday/Monday are gonna be rough otherwise. After the fest avoid mudbugs, unless you wanna hang out with locals and watch them fight. Not the classiest establishment, but it stays open pretty late. Don't plan on getting anywhere by cab, there's maybe 10 cabs for Gulf Shores, Orange Beach, Perdido Key, and they won't all take you from one end to the other. Despite all the dead kids from drunk drivers and DUI's the city still won't allow Uber... WTF. As everyone else has said, be prepared to ask for a cigarette after going through security.
I'm going VIP for the first time since 2013. I'm curious what the drink options have been like the last couple years? If I remember correctly in 2013 they ran out of all the good stuff and just had that Malibu b.s. I'm hoping there will be a full bar.

I remember that, my wife who is allergic to gluten and basically lives at the hangout bar. They ran out of vodka and it was bad......

Saw Moon Taxi and Portugal. the Man last night, definitely do not miss them on the beach. Crazy how PtM hasn't put out new stuff in 3 years yet still manage to put on a rockin show and pull a good crowd.

They are fun and have that party with the crowd style which gets everyone into it. Also being mostly a "song" band where the songs don't suck works too. Lots of people know every word to all of their songs. I have seen them 3 (4??) times which at least was Buku, Hangout and Wakarusa, and they were always great. As noted a few pages back, they were in my hangout top 3 [tm] with FATM and RTJ. Will be great. I hope they stream that set. I'll guzzle a couple with you mfs.
